If you are in need of a clutch bucket to win the game, who, if you could pick anyone, would you chose to take that shot for you? I think there are a lot of options out there, and it should be interesting to see what different people say in regards to the player they select..
Could they be retired? Or does it have to be somebody in the league right now?If it can be anybody i want Reggie Miller baby!
In today's game, it would depend on the scenerio. If it were simply, 10 seconds left, inbound the ball, I would take Kobe Bryant. As overrated as I think he si in the clutch, I don't know if I'd trust anyone else over him right now 25 feet out from the net, 10 seconds to go.However, if it were a catch and shoot situation, I take Carmelo. If I needed the three ball, Chauncey Billups would also be a name I'd consider.

I would take Kobe, Carmelo, Chauncey Billups, Dywane Wade, TMac, Vince Carter or Mike James. ALL of them are good down the stretch. It depends on the situation. If it's a 3 pointer needed. Mike all he way!!

He never gives it to Bosh for a higher percentage shot or he never gives it to Mo Pete or someone with an open looks. Sometimes it is a good thing because he is so good in pressure situations but sometimes he takes stupid shots like fadeaway 3 pointers, those kind of shots piss me off.
What, did you expect Webber to make that 3 pointer. It's very hard to make a shot with 2.9 seconds left in the game. There was little to nothing he could do.
If I am going for three I would say Robert Horry. He is quite good from that range. Other considerations would be like Billups, Carmelo, Wade, plus other players.

He came out in street clothes (ok, a suit and tie cuz he has to) and congratulated Jackson on his layup, so it wasnt him. :HAHAHA:
